I have a C2D6300 OC'ed to 2.94Ghz and a 4850 512 running on a 1920x1080 screen. My question to you fine people is what should be my next upgrade? The rest of my system is as follows:
RAM - 2x2Gb Generic
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P
PSU -
PSU - Corsair 750TX
Sound - Onboard with Logitech 540's
Mouse - G5
Key - Genius thing
HDD's - 1x320, 1x 750, 1x 1tb
OS- Windows 7, Ubuntu
Now I realise that either updating my graphics or cpu will make my computer faster but which will give me the best bang for my buck? If I update my graphics will I bottlenecking b'c of my cpu? There doesn't seem to be any sort of list for graphics pared with cpu's. If anyone could give me some advice I would be very appreciative. If I was going to update my CPU I would prob go i5/i7, which means new motherboard/ram. I use the computer for gaming and general use but no video encoding or picture editing.
Thanks!
